After you create cloud computers, you can manage their lifecycle from the Elastic Desktop Service (EDS) console, including starting, stopping, restarting, and releasing them.

Log on to the EDS enterprise console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Resource Management > Cloud Computers.
In the top navigation bar, select a region.

On the EDS Enterprise page, start cloud computers using one of the following methods.
-
Start a single cloud computer: Find the target cloud computer and click Start in the Actions column.

Billing
-
Pay-as-you-go cloud computers: Compute resource fees stop after the cloud computer is shut down.
-
Monthly subscription (unlimited hours) cloud computers: Compute and storage resources continue to be billed after shutdown.
-
Monthly subscription (120 hours/month or 250 hours/month) cloud computers: Shutdown pauses the usage hour deduction within your plan quota. If the quota is exhausted and you continue using the cloud computer, additional compute fees apply. These extra fees stop when the cloud computer is shut down. For more information, see Billing rules.
-
Duration package cloud computers: Shutdown pauses usage hour deduction from the package. Because duration package cloud computers are not billed by compute or storage resources separately, no other fees are incurred after shutdown.
